- Accessing a database found on Mobile Device (Pocket PC)
cdbReadPrevious (Function) In french: cdbLitPrécédent Positions on the previous file record and reads this record. In most cases, cdbReadPrevious is used to position in the data file during a browse loop. After the call to cdbReadPrevious, if the data file is empty: - no read operation is performed,
- cdbOut returns True.
Caution: From Windows Mobile 5, the access to a standard database (tasks, contacts, appointments, ...) can no longer be performed from a Windows application (and therefore from a standard WINDEV application). | | | | | Accessible from the PC | Accessible from the simulator | Accessible from the Mobile Device (Pocket PC) | CDB database | Yes | Yes | Yes | Standard database | No | No | Yes |
// Read the last record found in Customer file cdbReadLast("MyDatabase", "Customer") // Record outside the file? WHILE cdbOut("MyDatabase", "") = False // Process the record cdbReadPrevious("MyDatabase", "") ... END
// Standard "Contacts" database // Read the last record cdbReadLast("", cdbContact) // Record outside the file? WHILE cdbOut("", "") = False         // Process the record         cdbReadPrevious("", "")         ... END
Syntax
<Result> = cdbReadPrevious(<Database> , <Data file>)
<Result>: Boolean - True if the function was successful,
- False otherwise. If an error occurs, you can get the details of the error with ErrorInfo.
<Database>: Character string (with quotes) - Name of database that was opened by cdbOpen,
- Empty string ("") to handle one of the standard databases found on Mobile Device (tasks, contacts, ...).
<Data file>: Character string (with quotes) or constant Data file to use. This parameter corresponds to:- the name of data file to use.
- the constant corresponding to one of the standard databases:
| | cdbContact | "Contacts" database | cdbTask | "Tasks" database | cdbAppointment | "Appointments" database |
If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), cdbReadPrevious handles the last data file used by the last function for managing the Mobile Device databases (starting with the letters cdb).
